Hi guys, im new to this whole homebrew thing, i have purchased a basic Morgans homebrew kit and brewed my 1st batch (not great, but drinkable). I learnt a lot from teh 1st brew- especially about rinsing after sanitising, as well as temperatures etc.
So i started my 2nd brew this week, more adventurous, i decided to make a redback style, i really want to get away from the basic can brew as fast as possible and this allowed me to experiment with hops and malt extract. Whilst this is only my 2nd brew im looking at investing a bit of money into the whole venture as i can already see the savings and nothing beats drinking your own beer.,
but back on track, im looking for some food grade plastic tube/hose and a few more fermenters (for racking etc). Does anyone know a good place to source this stuff on the gold coast?
Whilst i love the local brew shop they want approx $50 for another fermenter, which seems a bit steep considering you can get complete kits at coels and wooleys/safeway for the same dollars.
Would water drums from the local camping shop be ok? i have heard they are not food grade.
anyway thanks in advance as im sure someone here can help me.
